In the summer the trails are in their best condition, the lift is working and plenty of hotels, guest houses and restaurants in the area open up for the season. You will need 6 to 8 hours to walk around all the lakes, enjoy the scenery and take pictures. Beware of the dates around 19 August, this is when the White Brotherhood gathers at the Babrek lake to perform their sacred dance, called Paneurhythmy. Thousands of people participate. They make spectacular rings (similar to human crop circles) that harmoniously sway and sing in praise of the sun and planets, brotherly love, healthy lifestyle and harmony with nature. As amazing as this event can be, we strongly recommend you avoid these dates for touring the Seven Rila lakes the whole area gets overcrowded with no place to park or enjoy the scenery in peace and solitude.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-2908bb2 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"2908bb2\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">4.

Located near the village Rezovo, it lies 90 km south of Burgas, 15 km south of Ahtopol and 12 km from Sinemorets.<\/p><p>Silistar reserve has rich and diverse fauna. Here you can see deer, wild boars, jackals, ducks, geese, etc. The presence of dozens of bird species is determined by the Via Pontica migration route which passes through this area.<\/p><p>Silistar is located in the sunniest part of the Bulgarian Black Sea coast and offers a unique combination of sea, mountain, river and exotic vegetation. Silistar beach is one of the most beautiful beaches in Bulgaria, a place almost still unspoiled and wrapped in that exciting close-to-real-nature feeling.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-ca0eea0 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"ca0eea0\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP\/\/\/yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7\" data-src=\"https:\/\/visitmybulgaria.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Silistar-beach-1024x576.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-7449 lazyload\" alt=\"The Best Beaches in Bulgaria: Your Ultimate Guide\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/visitmybulgaria.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Silistar-beach-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/visitmybulgaria.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Silistar-beach-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/visitmybulgaria.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Silistar-beach-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/visitmybulgaria.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Silistar-beach.jpg 1136w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/visitmybulgaria.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Silistar-beach-1024x576.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-7449 lazyload\" alt=\"The Best Beaches in Bulgaria: Your Ultimate Guide\" srcset=\"https:\/\/visitmybulgaria.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Silistar-beach-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/visitmybulgaria.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Silistar-beach-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/visitmybulgaria.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Silistar-beach-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/visitmybulgaria.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Silistar-beach.jpg 1136w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/noscript>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-6f0ab25 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"6f0ab25\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">7.

Rich merchants began to build architecturally unique houses of the size of royal palaces. You contemplate the gorgeous wood-carved ceilings, the colourful mural decorations and around-the-world landscapes; you throw a glance from the so-called gossiping corners at the street so as to feel the rhythm of its life. You imagine the bustling gatherings and charity balls, organized by the wealthy hosts. Style, noblesse, generosity and peace are radiated from this area, surrounded by spacious courtyards with gardens and lush greenery such as the yards of the \u201croyal\u201d House of Kuyumdzhiogly and the houses of\u00a0 Nikola Nedkovich, Stepan Hindliyan, Veren Stambolyan and Georgi Mavridi, turned today into museum-houses.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-712771b elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"712771b\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"420\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP\/\/\/yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7\" data-src=\"https:\/\/visitmybulgaria.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/DSC_4103.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-157 lazyload\" alt=\"Plovdiv, Bulgaria - N\u00b01 Plovdiv Travel Guide Before You Go.

Situated on a rocky peninsula on the Black Sea, the more than 3,000-year-old site of Nessebar was originally a Thracian settlement (Menebria). At the beginning of the 6th century BC, the city became a Greek colony. The city\u2019s remains, which date mostly from the Hellenistic period, include the acropolis, a temple of Apollo, an agora and a wall from the Thracian fortifications. Among other monuments, the Stara Mitropolia Basilica and the fortress date from the Middle Ages, when this was one of the most important Byzantine towns on the west coast of the Black Sea. Wooden houses built in the 19th century are typical of the Black Sea architecture of the period.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-ec5767b elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"ec5767b\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazyload\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP\/\/\/yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7\" data-src=\"https:\/\/visitmybulgaria.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/Nessebar-1.jpg\" title=\"\" alt=\"The city of Nessebar\" loading=\"lazy\" \/><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazyload\" src=\"https:\/\/visitmybulgaria.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/Nessebar-1.jpg\" title=\"\" alt=\"The city of Nessebar\" loading=\"lazy\" \/><\/noscript>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-c88f578 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"c88f578\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">9.
